Pearly Gates

I imagine that when one arrives at the Pearly Gates, St Peter will drive you up to meet the Big Fella in one of these.....
If you've been really good he might let you drive it.
Apologies to those who have seen it before. I hadn't.

I've never seen one of them before, let alone that one in mint condition.

Very nice.

Personally I never knew it existed, but I think it's VERY attractive.

However, obviously the Vette came first, and you can definitely see the similarities in the body.
That leads me to speculate that Oldsmobile copied off the Vette. Just my .02
